Allie Beth Allman agent Julie Coats Frakes had me raked in when she said this lovely home near the M Streets area had been updated recently, and included an upstairs master suite with its own elevated deck and entry.

I am as much as sold!

“One of my favorite features of the home is the private deck and entrance that the second level bedroom is spoiled with,” Frakes said. “You can’t miss seeing the incredible backyard!”

Seriously, though, 5518 Miller is a perfect family home with a location that just can’t be beat. Gorgeous house, too, with tons of curb appeal and a neat and tidy front porch where you can easily soak up the vibe and meet your cool new neighbors.

Inside you’ll find a space that is unexpectedly spacious. Seriously, you’ll have one of those moments in my favorite show, Doctor Who, where a person walks into his tiny and unassuming blue police box only to find it “bigger on the inside.” Apparently, I’m not alone in this thought.

“This rare M Streets gem was taken from ashes to beauty in 2012,” Frakes said. “The large front porch immediately invites people into the home, where many are surprised to find a second level bedroom adorned with skylights and charm.”

That’s the best way to describe this cute three-bedroom, two-bath cottage with more than 1,500 square feet indoors. It also has an immense two-car garage, as well as a large backyard. Simply charming, no? The kitchen is open to the living room, which benefits from the expanded second floor with a vaulted ceiling, making the room feel practically enormous.

In the kitchen you’ll find fresh cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a hidden laundry area. It’s bright and open and has tons of storage. So much to love about this cute home, and I know that considering its location (awesome!) and price, ($314,500!) it will go fast!
